Big time. <br /><br />I hate it...<br />I never know if they are in complete denial or struggling with recovery (like me) but I try and hope that they might just be exercising their allotted time, and know they have a problem and are working on it...etc. <br /><br />And what the huh?<br />That fomspring question was weird. <br />I read your blog and I have no idea what you look like, could that be someone you know maybe?<br />Move on. <br /><br />~MissyMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394509972095129618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-86447667199967965092010-12-08T16:41:15.468-08:002010-12-08T16:41:15.468-08:00I am so proud of you, Danielle!!! I hope that you ...I am so proud of you, Danielle!!! I hope that you find the Maudsley Approach helpful- I have heard many good things about it. I understand your fear, though- it's terrifying to hand over your control over eating to someone else. I went through something similar when I was in partial hospitalization treatment- it was really scary at first- I was anxious and very angry at times, but in time I found that there was actually freedom in having no possible way to listen to my eating disorder. Eating disorders make us feel in control, but in reality we are out of control by letting an illness control us. Giving up control temporarily to your parents and treatment team will ultimately help you gain control over your life and achieve freedom from ED. <3 Keep staying strong girl! You can do this! <br /><br />And I definitely feel for you with receiving comments on your body from other people. Hopefully if we keep speaking out about it, people will start to understand how destructive those types of comments are. I love that quote you posted in your comment to me, by the way. it is so true.Boston Femmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772762440931811261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-52989001796194353972010-12-08T09:52:19.685-08:002010-12-08T09:52:19.685-08:00I am so glad to read this post!

It was very difficult (we had our share of fights), but it was worth it to become healthy and eventually independent. <br />Good luck!<3princesslilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722940285808602890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-80632231390905976972010-12-08T09:34:23.450-08:002010-12-08T09:34:23.450-08:00Your post is so amazing.

When things get bad...I subconsciously slip back into bulimic tendencies. <br /><br />You can fight this and get through it. Also- my blog is private and I'd love to have contact with you- so could you email me your email so that I can add you to my list ? guo791999@gmail.com<br /><br />xoxo<br />-LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205933300947954793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-42141854671335875282010-12-08T07:56:52.416-08:002010-12-08T07:56:52.416-08:00Hello, dear.

I have faith in you!<br /><br />I understand completely your (scratch that, your eds) immediate desire to default to bulimia. That is EXACTLY what happened to me. The moment I entered recovery years ago and started to eat more, I compensated by throwing up. Before long, I couldn't stop. Not only did it not cure my anorexia, it created a whole other set of issues and made me even more sick and scared and miserable. It took years for me to stop purging. It's not worth it. Please, please, please do not go there! If those thoughts or desires persist, please talk to someone about them right away to avoid spiraling down that path. <br /><br />Take care and good luck with everything <3lifeafteranorexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995948227699986041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-46054876448664473962010-12-08T07:48:37.693-08:002010-12-08T07:48:37.693-08:00Oh my gosh, your post hit me home!

It is like I can't get fat. I can't get ugly. I can't let them down. Beautiful equates to being thin! <br /><br />It feeds my ED thinking. <br /><br />In reality, it is not true. Rationally, I know that. <br /><br />This is why I've come to NOT like this "Thin is beautiful". <br /><br />SO thank you for writing that post today. It makes me feel better to know that I am not the JUST one feeling this way.<br /><br />Hugs.Ashley Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079480848874087331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-84297900292591965362010-12-08T07:28:59.760-08:002010-12-08T07:28:59.760-08:00I'm really hopefull that new approach will hel...I'm really hopefull that new approach will help you. And by being open and willing to try it, it will have so much more of a chance to actually work. I know how hard it is to hand over that control. But no one said recovery was easy. It's uncomfortable and scary! I'm excited to hear how it all goes for you. <br /><br />I for one could have never done this kind of "method" not because of refusing, but because if I'd let my mom fix all my meals I either would have never ate, or had cheese curls and coke for every meal. No joke!

I think seomtimes, seeing another anorexic person, can be a wake up call that we need, we can see, in reality, in front of us-the truth of the disease and its NOT pretty or appealing is it?<br />Skinny is NOT pretty, heck, look at bootyliscious beyonce and fit n healthy jessica biel! theyre HEALTHY! but more importantle<br />y, A HEALTHY MIND AND LIFE! is what we are striving for, one that WE control, NOT anrexia.<br />Good luck with ur day, stay strong and remember, recovery isnt easy, but its worth it!<br />xxxFinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-63471137836471296462010-12-08T03:14:07.270-08:002010-12-08T03:14:07.270-08:00Thanks for the comment! <3

And I admire you for being able to hand that control to your parents, I don't know if I could do that! <br /><br />The formspring thing is just so sad. It shows how distorted our world's perception of worth and beauty really is. It's good that you tried to show them that beauty is so much more.<br /><br />Thanks for another inspiring post. Have a great rest of the week and stay strong!<br /><br />LizAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465017243367902399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792871902317373397.post-39233297169300079692010-12-08T01:40:43.645-08:002010-12-08T01:40:43.645-08:00I got here through Missy Miller's blog. You ha...I got here through Missy Miller's blog. You have a lot of wisdom. AN is a hard school but we all have our crosses, I suppose. I feel a lot of power in you. You can do recovery. Just go step by step. Last summer as I jogged in Miami Beach a guy yelled after me "give her a piece of steak", some other folks whispered as I went by on several occasions. Guys stopped looking at me. Now that I have been able to gain back a bit, this has changed. I see people looking at me differently - not with that scared/semi-disgusted face. <br /><br />AN wants to make us ugly. AN wants to destroy our lives. Let's not let that happen. <br /><br />Hugs to you, "lil' sis"!Susu Paris Chichttp://www.makinen.fr/susa/wordpress/noreply@blogger.com
